Hi,
I was on paxil for seven months and stopped it in January. In retrospect I don't think it helped very much. We were building a house and had to move three times in one year with two small children (!) very chaotic time.
I recently miscarried a pregnancy and things started to unravel for me again...my mood plummeted..I have very few good days and when I do I have to TRY to have a good day...I try to make a commitment to be happy..for my family.
I started Lexapro 10mg almost 2 weeks ago. It's not really helping much. Does anyone know why the mg dose is so low compared to Paxil or Prozac where it is up to 40mg or more? I was on 40mg of Paxil but my dr started me on the low dose of Lex.
I'm in counseling too. I just **feel** so unhappy. I can't shake it. Most of the time I don't know why I feel so unhappy. I think alot of it has to do with just being a mom. I have a very challanging two year old who has many food allergies..is aggressive, throws furniture around in anger, hits, constantly climbing, constantly into everything,..he needs 100% supervision still. Its so exhausting. I have lost the ability to find JOY in being a mom. I don't know how to get it back.
Is anyone on Lexapro? Did it help any? I'm not coping well with my life right now. I don't know where to get the coping skills I need. I'm in a true rut. UGH!
